He means that statistically speaking, your comparing two equally unlikely events (being injured by radiation, being injured in a plane crash). Or to look at this another way - Air travel itself has some inherent risk. So it's kind of stupid to ask if it's risky being in Tokyo due to radiation when you have to endure a different sort of risk just to fly there. |

What do you mean by that? He means that statistically speaking, your comparing two equally unlikely events (being injured by radiation, being injured in a plane crash). Actually you're a ton safer on a plane than many other activities. I was actually thinking more about the radiation exposure from air travel itself, between airport security (whether or not you go through an scanners, you'll be standing beside an x-ray machine that is scanning your luggage) and the radiation exposure on the flight itself. The levels throughout much of Japan are quite safe (and the radiation isn't limited to Japan, other areas have measured the radiation release) In other words, unless you're paranoid about radiation, Tokyo is safe. If you are paranoid about radiation, air travel as a whole probably isn't a good choice. -- It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it. |

I love Japan, it's very nice
I think Tokyo is quite far from where radiation occurs, so you can travel comfortably |
